"The Panigale V2 Bayliss 1st Championship 20th Anniversary, while staying true to the Panigale V2's roots, pays homage to the legendary Troy Bayliss with a special and distinctive livery reminiscent of Troy's Ducati 996 R that led him to his first win," said Ducati India Managing Director Bipul Chandra.

Changes though are not just limited to cosmetics. The standard Panigale V4's Showa front and Sachs rear suspension set-up is replaced by Ohlins units. The Troy Bayliss edition sits on a NX30 front fork and TTX36 rear shock said to offer more precise handling and greater feel. The special edition V2 is also lighter owing to a new Lithium-Ion battery.

As with the standard Panigale V2, the Troy Bayliss edition comes with a host of electronics including cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control and three ride modes - Race, Sport and Street.
